An Original Vintage 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Still (Learn More) Marilyn Monroe is one of the greatest larger-than-life movie stars ever of the 1950s, and surely the greatest sex symbol of all time! She appeared in several memorable movies including: Some Like It Hot, The Prince & the Showgirl, All About Eve, The Asphalt Jungle, The Misfits, The Seven Year Itch, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Monkey Business, and Niagara. In August of 1962, she was found dead in her home from an apparent drug overdose, and her death was ruled a suicide (though there are theories that foul play was involved) AND Michael Rennie was an English leading actor from the 1930s to the 1970s and is best remembered for his role as the alien "Klaatu" in the classic The Day the Earth Stood Still. Some of his other movies include: Secret Agent, The Robe, Titanic, and The Desert Fox AND Clifton Webb was born in 1889, and he was primarily a stage actor, appearing in a small number of movies, starting in silents. In 1944, at the age of 55 he achieved stardom with his role as Waldo Lydecker in Laura. He parlayed that fame into starring roles in movies, most notably in the series of Mr. Belvedere movies, where he was a male nanny. Some of his movies include: Sitting Pretty, Razor's Edge and Titanic Important Added Info: This is a very interesting but difficult to identify still. It has a still code that says "K+Q-2", but we don't know what that refers to. Both Marilyn and Rennie were top stars at 20th Century-Fox in the 1950s, so we imagine it relates to some studio event, but we just don't know, and we don't know exactly when it dates from.
UPDATED 01/14/2019: Note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that this still is from a visit of the royal family of Greece to Hollywood in November 1953. The couple on the right are King Paul and Queen Frederika (which explains the "K+Q" in the still code). The man next to Monroe is Spyros Skouras (the Greek born president of Twentieth Century Fox) and the fellow between Rennie and the Queen is Clifton Webb. Condition: very good.
